on tuesday, president obama gives his state of the union address. most of the talk has been about the republican response. it will be given by florida senator marco rubio. he is on the cover of the new issue of "time" magazine. it's being called "the republican savior." rubio's respondeded with this tweet, "there is only one savior, and it's not me, #-jesus." rubio is clearly, though, the star of his party now. joining me to talk about rubio and the rest of the political hop topics, cnn contributor maria cardona, and amy holmes, anchor of "real news" on "the blaze." maria, you were talking about the fact that rubio will give part of the response in spanish. so good move? do you think it's going to sway latino voters? >> well, i'll say this, martin, it is a good move. the republican party when it comes to latinos, they're starting from less than zero. so anything that they do will count toward trying to attract latino voters. but it's going to take more than words. it's going to take more than spanish words. they've got to do more than talk the talk.
